Anson Mount, who played Captain Pike in the second season of Star Trek: Discovery, has admitted that he would take “any opportunity” to return to the fold and reprise his role. Here’s the full quote…

Speaking to the Calgary Herald, Mount shared his excitement about landing the role:

“I got to sit in the chair and thank God I got that out of the way on a day I wasn’t working. Because I got surprisingly emotional when I sat in the Captain’s chair. There is this weird full 360 to realize that I was still playing make-believe and now I was doing it for a living and I was going to play the same game that I played when I was a child. It was wild.”

And, on the topic of potentially returning to the role, he said this:

“It checks all the boxes. It’s a character I love, it’s a franchise I love, it’s an experience that I have already loved. Obviously, any opportunity to go back and play with that incredible team, led by [executive producer and co-creator] Alex Kurtzman and all of those incredible artisans from costumes, to makeup, to art, to props. Everybody in that crew is operating at the top of their game.”
